Personally it bothers me because I have grown to care about the kids here and I honestly believe that perschoolers belong with their parents whenever possible. Of course, for many, full time with their kids is not a possibility....I get that. But when you have children it is a full-time life long commitment and while I understand everyone needing some "me" time to recharge their batteries, not spending a few extra hours out of your 80 hour vacation is just plain selfish and it bothers me for the kids' sake.

In all honesty this one kid is kind of the glue that holds my gang together, so it not just a selfish desire on my part to have one less. He's my little animator! It's just sad, but thankfully he doesn't understand that daddy's off work on vacation, but he can't spend a little extra time for one lousy day with him. So, yeah....it does bother me.

I swore I was done posting on this one! Now I really am!!
